WAPO Endorses Obama

"Any presidential vote is a gamble, and Mr. Obama's résumé is undoubtedly thin. We had hoped, throughout this long campaign, to see more evidence that Mr. Obama might stand up to Democratic orthodoxy and end, as he said in his announcement speech, 'our chronic avoidance of tough decisions.'

But Mr. Obama's temperament is unlike anything we've seen on the national stage in many years. He is deliberate but not indecisive; eloquent but a master of substance and detail; preternaturally confident but eager to hear opposing points of view. He has inspired millions of voters of diverse ages and races, no small thing in our often divided and cynical country. We think he is the right man for a perilous moment."

About Me

I'm an information professional with a Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College and Masters in Library Science from Queens College Graduate School for Library and Information Studies.
Obviously, I have to earn a living and therefore won't be able to post new entries everyday. However, I will make every effort to regulary unscreen comments from others.
Please be advised that my podcast interviews originally posted here can also be accessed for free on Itunes. Simply search in the Itunes store for Intrepid Liberal Journal or Robert Ellman.

I hope the content of this blog is appreciated and I humbly request readers make a donation by either clicking on the button below or completing a purchase through the Amazon.com advertisements. Another option is to click on the Google text advertisements. It happens that having my podcast interviews stored on a host site costs money and so does some of the research I do. So, even though blogspot is free, the content I provide does add up over time. I appreciate the consideration and understanding.
